Paris Jackson took fans' worry to heart ... and got an ultrasound of her neck after some people were saying on her social media it looked "weird."

But it's all good ... Paris just took to Instagram to say there's nothing wrong with her neck -- other than some vocal chord "redness" -- assuring fans that her neck looks the way it does because she's a singer and uses those muscles more than normies.

The Celtics star went on his live stream over the weekend to address comments made about him by the ESPN personality ... and in a clip you're going to have to see to believe, he made it pretty clear he and SAS are far from good.

JB said of Smith talking trash about him ... “F--- Stephen A ... Stephen A, Stephen B, Stephen C. My offer still stands: You want me to be quiet and stop streaming ... well I want you to be quiet and get off these networks. Because you’re not using your platform to do real journalism.”

Bob Saget would have turned 70 over the weekend ... and his best pal John Stamos made sure fans remembered.

Spencer Pratt is already making contingency plans for life outside Los Angeles ... and it all depends on how he performs in the mayor’s race.

Speaking with comedian Adam Carolla, Pratt says plainly ... "If Karen Bass gets reelected or Nithya gets elected, I will be done with trying to live in LA."

Anna Delvey is telling her story her way ... because TMZ has learned the infamous fake heiress is putting together a memoir and companion documentary chronicling her past, present and beyond.

Anna tells TMZ her projects will cover a broad timeline of her life -- starting much before her "Fake Heiress" scandal to her time on "Dancing with the Stars" and her experience hunkering down in NYC under house arrest amid her ongoing U.S. immigration proceedings regarding her visa status.

She hopes this memoir will give viewers a fresh perspective on who she is and everything she's working toward, explaining ... "There’s this assumption that life freezes at the moment the internet decides who you are, but in reality you still have to keep evolving while everyone else keeps projecting an outdated version of you onto the screen."
